Abstract
This thesis presents the results of a 28 GHz continuous-wave (CW) diffraction measurement campaign in the Washington, DC area. It describes the measurement approach including information on equipment and testing methods. Also described are the various parameters that affected the diffraction loss. Observed diffraction losses showed little dependence on polarization and building material. For diffraction angles greater than 5, a simple linear equation was fit to the data and accurately describes the diffraction loss. A logarithmic equation describes the dependence at smaller angles. The model developed shows very good agreement with theory and other measurements. Also included are an overview of the fixed wireless industry, a discussion of system design issues, and a review of the historical and mathematical development of diffraction theory. iii Acknowledgments I would like to express my sincere thanks to my academic advisor, Dr. Charles Bostian. His guidance, patience and expertise has made my graduate experience meaningful and fulfilling. My relationship with committee members Drs. Ira Jacobs and Warren Stutzman began in the classroom and evolved into discussions about navigating diffraction theory, my experiment design, and finally detailed suggestions for clarifying and improving the final thesis. I express my thanks to them for their important contributions to my graduate program. I would like to thank my employer, LCC International, Inc., and especially my boss, Guy Jouannelle who have provided me with the flexibility and tools to allow me to be successful in my graduate program. I am grateful for the constant support, encouragement, and critique from my wife Candice. Her presence made the uphill portions of my academic journey seem much less daunting. These ac...
